  • USD/JPY capped below 21-EMA at 111.08, trades 0.42% lower on the day.
     
  • The pair  struggled to build on its early momentum beyond the 111.00 handle.
     
  • Deterioration in investors' appetite for riskier assets, triggered by a sudden fall in the Turkish Lira, boosted the safe-haven yen.
     
  • The pair finds immediate support at daily cloud, break below will see further weakness.
     
  • Scope then for test of 200-DMA at 109.88. Violation there could see further weakness.
     
  • On the flipside, breakout at 21-EMA could see upside continuation.
